It’s a Jeep thing

Newest Member of the Jeep crew. 1987 Wrangler (YJ) has a 4.2 liter (258) inline 6-cylinder engine at 128,000 miles. Needs a little work, about a 3″ x 2″ spot of rust driver’s side floor. Small area of rust on frame forward of rear shackle mount driver’s side, smaller spot on passenger side. Loose steering wheel, still functional. Engine runs good, maybe a carb upgrade later. Our two other on-the-road Jeeps are a 2018 Jeep Compass (MP) and a 1990 Jeep Comanche (MJ). Our other Jeeps include a 1989 Jeep Wrangler (YJ) and a 1999 Jeep Cherokee (XJ).
